Real Life Lincoln Brewster
by Lincoln Brewster and Mia Fieldes
If you're not familiar with the song, you may have to arrange the chords exactly
where they're played since there are a couple spots where the words get kinda
tricky. Otherwise, enjoy!
Intro: G D/F# C
[G]I still see the kid in me
[D/F#]Building castles by the sea
[C]And skipping rocks across those ocean waves[G]
[G]Still building buoy rafts
[D/F#]And sailing on the Kachemak
[C]And running wild across Alaskan plains[G]
[Bm]And all my yesterdays don'[C]t seem so long ago now[G/D] [D]
[Bm]And all those early years [C]
[G/D]will always seem like home somehow[D]
And it was real life, an[G]d it was real good[D/F#]
It was a place I [C]took for granted
'cause I just never unde[G/D]rstood[D]
And there was real pain, there w[G]ere real tears[D/F#]
But the way my Ma[C]ma loved me
somehow carried all thos[G/D]e years[D]
It was real life[G], [D/F#] [C] Oh it was real life[G] [D/F#] [C]
[G]I still see the kid in jeans
[D/F#]But now he's standing next to me
[C]Never thought that I'd have boys to raise[G]
[G]I don't have it figured out
[D/F#]It still feels like playing house
[C]And it's something I am learning everyday[G]
[Bm]And all of my tod[C]ays seem like they're rushing by so fast[G/D] [D]
A[Bm]nd every time I l[C]ook around I pray that it [G/D]will last[D]
And it's real li[G]fe, and it's real good[D/F#]
And sometimes I take it all for gra[C]nted
even though I[G/D] never should[D]
And there is real pain, an[G]d there are real tears[D/F#]
But the way my ba[C]by loves me
somehow carries all thes[G/D]e years[D]
And this is real life[G] [D/F#]
Interlude: Em C G D (2x) C
[G]When I'm old and turning grey
[D/F#]And my boys have moved away
[C]When it's time for me to say goodbye[G]
[G]I hope I leave a legacy
[D/F#]I hope that God is proud of me
[C]I hope that I leave something good behind[G]
[Bm]And all my yester[C]days are flashing right before my [G/D]eyes[D]
An[Bm]d I'm standing in God's presen[C]ce when I finally realize[G/D] [D]
This is real lif[G]e, this is real good[D/F#]
It's a place[C] I took for granted 'cause I just never understood[G/D] [D]
And there'll be no pain, and the[G]re'll be no tears[D/F#]
'Cause the way my Father[C] loves me is the reason I am here[G/D] [D]
This is real lif[G]e, oh th[D/F#]is is [C]real life[G] [D/F#] [C]
Oh this is real [G]life[D/F#] [C]
